My LAA music video is finally done! Thank you if you stuck around long enough to see this :) Please boost it if you can!

I'll be sharing extra assets here in the coming days!

Doc spoilers under the cut...

As the paintings are mostly there as a gag, my lore for Doc's individual ancestors isn't fully established and some of them may not even be canon in the way they appear in the paintings, but here's what I think.

Nosramus (white hair guy) is a Fear & Hunger easter egg. If you consider him canon he would have already been alive in the year 800 making him the first recorded person in the lineage. They're just there as a funny meme but I wanted to include them due to them often striking me as disarmingly similar to Doc in the game's canon.

Mr. Basement and the Wicked Witch are the closest to how they appear in the original skits they were based on. Mr. Basement is literally Just The One From the Video and the witch is only distinct in that she lived in late 1600s New England rather than in Oz. Her personality is otherwise unchanged. I also headcanon Mr. Basement as having existed as a Regular Man in the 1800s before becoming what he is now (he'd call it his "descension" rather than ascension)

The vigilante is the most eligible to be non canon. Idk what's up with him lol. But I will say that it's likely one of Doc's recent relatives (1970-1980s) may have Done That.

The "How to cause a traffic accident" character is the true wildcard as they aren't really their own character in the original video. I like to imagine they were a decadent artist type that one day decided to start causing problems on purpose. They probably killed a husband for inheritance or something and decided to not stop there. Overall ranking pretty high among which of their ancestors were the biggest menaces

In general Doc's family is large and sprawling and their features tend to show up every few generations. Most of their ancestors/relatives have had some connection to the occult, several were an Actual Problem to polite society and at least a few of them are still alive or around in some form to this day.

Each ancestor/family member thinks their Own occult pursuit is the coolest and finds their other relatives' paths frivolous or unglamorous

(This post refers to my LAA music video)

That's correct, while the characters are based on real people, they should be seen more as roles they've been sort of cast as, as opposed to accurate representations of the real them!

In the assistant's case, his name is Ernest and he's way out of his depth here. Doc dedicated years of their life to studying the occult, and Ernest did not. He kind of doesn't even assume that this reanimation stuff will work at all, he'll believe it when he sees it. Plus, Doc is being all mad-scientist like about it and that doesn't make him feel any better about the whole ordeal.

HOWEVER he is one of two people Doc has ever made a connection with (the other being Laa) and is determined to stick around to help them (and to help Laa?). I assume they were like, college roommates and they just thought of him and called him back after a few years of silence to help sjnsjsjs. He was probably having a normal career in film school before this event and will try to get back to it afterwards. Unless you believe the rumors of him having training as a combat exorcist from an internship at the Vatican, and if that were the case, he probably cleaned up after some of Doc's occult ritual malpractice. But, these are simply rumors and we just can't say.

His way of getting into the cemetery undisturbed was by bribing the night keeper with shady record label money.

Doc's family portraits from my Lifetime Achievement Award music video. Their lineage goes way back, and they're slowly collecting these. 4/5 of them are NKOTR references and the fifth is the only easter egg of unrelated media: Nosramus Fear & Hunger being related to Doc (by their vibes matching so perfectly) is a personal in-joke I can't let go of

Thank you! I'm happy you liked it \:)

I don't know a lot of fashion-related words but I can say Doc's looks are very fluid.

When they were younger they used to dress up more stereotypically goth with a lot of black and studded accessories but nowadays they almost never go for that archetype, and have become completely unpredictable. There's like an entire spectrum. On one hand you have a "classy vampire" look, both masc and femme options are valid, from classic Dracula to Lady Dimitrescu, though they will typically add dashes of color to that style with some tacky feathered boa or shiny boots. They dress this way for important occasions but some of these items can randomly appear in their day to day outfits too.

The labcoat is part of their casual wear and they'll sometimes even wear it on the beach and similar odd places if I find it funny \:) On the other end of the spectrum you have a more rustic, dishevelled look with weathered boots, pants with many pockets, sweaters and a trench coat. They famously dressed this way while they were running their first revival experiments out of a shed in the woods. They don't often go for this style anymore but the trenchcoat and big boots get to stay.
